Describe a habit that your friend has that you want to develop 

Recently, I decided to move out and rent a room with my best friend. My best friend is a very kind and self-disciplined person. We’ve known each other since kindergarten and our friendship is very solid. We have so many things in common. We rented a bedroom with 2 bunk beds and a personal bathroom. The room was fully furnished and quite affordable as well, so  we were both quite happy with it. After a month sharing the room with her we had a few problems actually. I was a night owl, and did most of my work at night and slept during the day. She, on the other hand, had to have a good sleep at night. She also likes to do exercise in the morning and that created a lot of conflicts between us. We both felt frustrated with each other because of our different habits. Needless to say hers is healthy and mine is not. We decided to talk about it and she persuaded me that going to bed early and exercising is actually really good for my health and can improve my productivity, so I decided to make a change. I have been feeling fatique and unproductive for awhile but it’s hard to get rid of a bad habit and I just feel like giving in most of the time. Being surrounded by someone who is healthy, alert like her really gave me a motivation to change. A week ago, I woke up early with her and we went to the park together for morning walk  and also had friendly chat with people in the neighborhood. Not surprisingly, I started feeling refreshed, awake and more productive so I really hope to maintain that habit from now on. Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy and wise which I find to be very true.
